Hoch, of Kansas, is a "lobster." When a man begins by saying, "To tell you the truth," you may be pretty sure he is going to tell a lie. The Brooklyn Eagle says Mr. Bryan might beat Mr. Taft-as Mr. Rtoosevelt's prescribed understudy. It costs more for a dill merchant to brush the dust off his goods than it would to advertise and sell them. When Taft meets Foraker the latter will irobably wish with Ham let-'Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt." Uncle Sam pays rent amounting to $400,000 every year. And the burden is not even mitigated by thf joy of being able to get out occasion ally and hunt a tlat. An exchange says there are twl reasons why some people don't mind their own businecss. One is that they haven't any mind, and the othei is that they haven't any business. According to the Anderson Mail. Senator Foraker is desperate. H( has called in experts to swear that the bullets found in the wallls it Brownsville did not come from arm rifks. The best evidence of )ne('s strengt1 is the cotlsideration with whic-h h! treats his weaker lrotler.-[N. O. Advoca e And this axiomatic trutli might be read with profit by somc in this c,inmunity. 'This paragra ph is cli ppedl fromi one of our near-by contemporaries: "Tne Greenville postofilee has went into a first-class ollic." It is hard to tell from this whether we are comning or going. -[Greenville News. Most likely g'wine." Th'e wveather reports showv, pe. haps, better than anything else, the vast range and variety of our coun try. While snows and blizzards are af fecting the extreme North, the South generally is basking in sunshine that ie almost summery, Yet even in the South, sometimes known as the "Sunny Southb, we have a tremendous range of weather. While Richnmond was in the grip of a snowstorm ro cently the citizens of Pickens, S. C. were eating strawberries grown in the city, and the people of Plaque mnines Parish, La., were enjoying rip)e peaches. Senator Tillmnan last week got or rather a ramp)age lup in Virgini, whilo being entertainedl at a fashion able club, wvhich, "eording to ri portsi, does not rellect ver-y mueiiil credit cither upiun the senator or the state which lhe has the honor to rey. resent.

The editor of this paper, a" editor. and personally, has always stod, and will always stand for the best interests of the town, and what he says and does is open and above board. In the matter of the town e'eotion the report is being circu. lated that he is making a "personal" fight against Mr. .1. MoD. Bruce. This is a lie out of the whole cloth. I am not antagonistic to Mr. Bruce, further than that. I have always said, and now say, Mr. Bruce has no more right than any other private citizeu to name a ticket for this town. I say this of him, would say it of R E. Bruce, B. B. LaBoon, or any other citizen who would try to do this. I believe in the Democratic principle of the primary system of running who you please and electing whoever you can. If this he treason make the most of it. If Mr. Bruce's "triends" (?) who Are circulating this report, and otherii, will stop to think they will change their tuue. But, pahan! what is the use to try nud kick up a strife in a place like Pickens, wl" e everybody is pulling for the g..'oud of tho town and where it has been t he boast of her citizens that no faetiotiahisin ever existed? Beware of the false friend, and the person who would use you. 1 le who would bring a lone would carry one." W#, might as well ;d hang together as to hang sepatr,e+e-iy --o where is the dif{1r":nc.e a hun. dred yea r4 from now? A pret(er C' ne- to a news%paSper manttl iii this wa): 'Yon editors do not tell thet truth. Ir you dliid y.u cOtil not. live; o tiu Iwsa petr.. woutll h' a failure." 1lh) editor - p)liedi: "Yon are right, andi thle m111. ister who will at all times and nuder all circeumstances tell the whole truth about hin membdern, alive or dead, will not occupy) his pulpit more than one Sunday, and then he will findl i: m cessary tol leave tolwn in) a h,urry. '1The preCss and the pllpi go hand in hami with whitewash brushi es and pleasant words, ma(gnift ing little virtues into big ones. TI.e pulpit, the pen and the gravestone are the great saint-miaking triumvi rate." And the minister went away looking very thoughtful, vbile the editor turned to bia tyork and told of the unsurpassing beauty of the bride, while in fact she was as home ly as a mud fence. He who boasts of his ur spotted character must fancy his sins wvel covered. Tfhe beautiful allegory ot "Little George and His Hatchet," with which our old time pedagoguea. tried to instill into our 3youthfm. minds the no'tle prIecepts of truth and honor, appears to have been for gotten in these days of fraud and hyvpocrinv.
